| Product Description | ||||
|
ASTALON™ K2000G2 is a 10% Glass Filled flame retardant Polycarbonate that is designed to meet the stringent Underwriter's Laboratory UL94 V-0 test whilst offering improved rigidity, heat resistance, indoor colour stability and balance of impact toughness, product rigidity and mouldability. Typical applications include assemblies for electrical appliance and equipment. Other applications include metal substitution such as industrial electrical switch housings, electrical power tool casings and mounting chassis for electronics devices such as computer printers, laptop computers and VTR units.
